Americans, as a rule, don’t think ill of the Kaiser as a man, except, like the whole German nation, he seems to them to have lost the power to dis- tinguish right from wrong. But they think grievously of him as a Kaiser. They think he has got terribly off the track, and carried the whole German people with him. The better he seems as a man, the worse, because more enticing and dangerous, he seems as a Kaiser. In many details he has done well, In the great fundamental of steering his country on a wise course, or finding pilots to do it, he seems to have been a failure, though sin- ners behind and all about him are as much to blame for his aberrations as he is himself. The poor man! If he comes en- tirely to grief it will bea great tragedy. For he has tried to do his duty as he . The trouble has been with his E. S.

(i Found faithful - after ten years’ exposure A remarkable story of Elgin dura- bility comes from Oklahoma, and is vouched for by a lawyer of that state. “In 1904 I was United States Attorney for the Central District of Indian Territory and prosecuted one . . . . fora murderalleged to have been committed in the Kiamitia Moun- tains in the old Choctaw Nation, Indian Terri- tory, some ten years prior to the date of the prosecution. “The body of the deceased was found in the mountains ten years after he was killed, and was certainly identified by the remains of a gun marked for identification, some marked coins, and a certain Elgin watch carried by the deceased. Although the watch had lain“ by the skeleton in the mountain, exposed to the sunshine, rain, sleet and snow, for ten years, when it was discovered and picked up it began running and clicking off the time as perfectly as though it had been wound the day before.” Ten years of exposure to the elements, yet unharmed! What a gruelling test for such a delicate piece of mechanism ! What a convincing proof that lifelong service may be expected of Elgin Watches — either men’s or women’s models!

Highest cash prices paid by evildoers everywhere for new and second-hand neutrality. The progress of evil is greatly obstructed by the egregious habit which human beings have of taking sides and making ethical judgments. The result of these judgments is the making of laws and the introduction of other inhibitive processes. The only way this can be stopped is by the establishment of neutrality on a large scale.
